I am going from 2 cars to the Q50.

I am also planning to purchase from an East Coast dealer I like working with and have the car shipped.

In the past I have sold my cars through Autotrader.

Only once did I receive an ok offer from a dealer on a trade so I don't even bother with that any more.

I have an 09 Vibe AWD and an 06 IS350.

I went into CarMax yesterday and got an offer for $12K for the Vibe and and extremely happy with that and will say bye bye to that car early next week.

The Q will either be on the ground in late July or early August and will tighten up my plan once the dealer has a vin number for me.

What are other folks going?

My ex wife is buying my 04 sedan. She is going to give me a grand over dealer trade value.

I went to an Infiniti dealer for my 03 G35 coupe and gave me a good value for my trade in especially since I have a bunch of modded parts and didn't want to bother anymore going back to stock! I also pre-ordered the Q50 there while I was @ it!

I've got it pretty easy. My leased G37 is just going back to the dealer. They'll be doing a pull-ahead to get me into the Q50.
